Savonius VAWT 2 stage oil drum wind turbine. Video
My two stage Savonius oil drum VAWT fitted with LG Direct drive/smartdrive 3 phase 36 pole generator. Producing about 12v 1amp in this first test! :) Goto http://www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/FORUM1/forum_posts.asp?TID=889&PN=1 for full details.

Most hortizontal axis designs will be more efficient than the vertical axis designs, but there are exceptions when considering designs and wind speeds. As a rule of thumb, most HAWT's will produce more electricity than most VAWT's, under optimal conditions.

Hi, most interesting. A local farmer had suggested this system when I was asking him for parts to create a wind-powered electricity generator. How are things progressing? I rather imagined this to be more effieicient than simple plane/fan type prop blades. Where can I get detail on the alternator/genny whatever?
PS am thinking of using smaller barrels due to restrictions. Well done anyway - good to know we can succeed despite academic assertions.

you could use it to charge batteries. Could produce about 100 watts in a strong wind. Enough to power a light bulb.
a 20W light bulb.

This is very nice work. Did you get the LG used (salvage) out of a washing machine? I am doing something similar and am looking for a low-cost generator. I would like to see how you built this (bearings, connection to the generator, etc.)
